On 21 August 2019, we have invited a lady from the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, whom quite a lot of you will know – Sarah Booth. She will be talking about the work of the Trust in our area.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGOF THE NE'VE SHALOM SYNAGOGUE
The Synagogue Council would like to inform all members that the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Ne've Shalom, the Hull Reform Synagogue will be taking place on Friday 21 June, 2019, starting at 6.00pm prompt.
If you are a full member of the Shul, you have a right to vote, so why don't you come and exercise this right.
The AGM will be followed by the Friday Night Service. Please make every effort to attend.
CONVERSION CLASSES
Having received confirmation that Rabbi Debbie Young-Somers is sponsoring our three Converts, Sarah, Rebecca and Adrian, we have re-commenced our Conversion Classes. The next class will take place on Sunday morning 7 July at 11.30am and last about an hour.
Although these sessions are primarily to provide academic support to the conversion process, we do have a number of others attending these interesting discussions.
Over the next few sessions, we will be looking at Shabbat Observance, the Jewish Calendar and Festivals. These classes are designed to provide guidance, research biblical sources and provoke discussions on Shabbat observance, the different Festivals, both major and minor, within the Jewish calendar and provide an insight into how these Festivals are celebrated at the Synagogue and within the home.
If you want to come along for a refresher, you are most welcome.
KOSHER FIELD TRIP TO MANCHESTER
At a recent Conversion Class, some of us were reminiscing about our early Sunday morning salt beef and bagel experiences. As London was too far, it was decided to go on a field trip to experience a kosher Sunday morning in Manchester. The plan is a guided tour of Jacksons Row Synagogue, followed by a spot of lunch at the JS Restaurant (click on the link for the menu https://jsrestaurant.co.uk/our-menus/, visit a few book and Judaica shops and finally stop off at a nearby kosher deli/supermarket on the way back.
We have booked a Mini bus from the Synagogue to depart at 9.30am on Sunday 18 August 2019. All members and friends of Ne've Shalom are welcome to join us. Transport will be free of charge. Please contact Helen on 07884 432 329, or at helen@hsts.co.ukto reserve a seat.
